As well as achieving the top overall score, it also receives the highest scores for teaching environment and research environment among its peers.

The table, which was compiled for the second time this year, is a subset of the 91ÇÑ×Ó Young University Rankings, which lists the best universities that are 50 years old or younger.

PSL ranks fourth in this broader league table. It did not feature in the list last year as 2018 is the first rankings cycle that PSL, rather than its individual components, has been ranked.
